Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You Tab

by Billy Squier


*********************************************************************
Please read:
I wanted to do this song with my band for a Holiday gig and thought it would be much to 
half step to the key of F instead of F#.

Also note that for the guitar solo you should play the chords like this:
F Bb F - F Bb F  INSTEAD of the progression of F Bb F - F Dm Gm. The rest of the solo 
it's just that one change you need to remember for lead guitar to play over. I've noted it below.

Enjoy!

Christmas is the Time to Say "I Love You" - Billy Squier

                             
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
                                 
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
                                        
Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a
                                    
feeling that will last all through the year


                        
On the corner carolers are singing
                             
There’s a touch of magic in the air
                                  
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
                                 
Times are hard but no one seems to care


                                
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
                                   
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
                                    
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
               	       
They will find a way into your heart


                             
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
                                 
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
                                        
Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a
                                    
feeling that will last all through the year

Just outside the window snow is falling
                                   
But here beside the fire we share the glow
                                    
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
                              
Sentiments that everyone should know


                              
Memories of the year that lays behind us
                               
Wishes for the year that's yet to come
                                         
And it stands to reason that good friends in season
                                
Make you feel that life has just begun


                             
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
                                 
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
                                        
Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a
                                    
feeling that will last all through the year


        -        -                   
     
So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shining brighter
                                       
Then you know that Christmas time is here.
